The atmosphere is quite scary, creating a creepy and sinister environment.
Graphics are decent, particularly the lighting effects from the flashlight.
The game can be completed in one sitting, making it a quick experience.

The gameplay is limited and repetitive, primarily involving collecting keys and avoiding the monster.
The story is poorly developed, with little narrative progression and many empty rooms.
Movement feels clunky, and the stealth mechanics do not work well, leading to frustration.

The game's backstory is intriguing but poorly developed, leaving players wanting more depth and coherence. While it features creepy moments and detailed environments, the storytelling is fragmented and lacks a solid narrative, with minimal context provided through achievements and in-game elements. Overall, players feel that the story is underwhelming and fails to engage effectively.
- “The backstory seems interesting but it doesn't unfold; maybe with more work, something good could have been done.”
- “I finished the game with all achievements and even found a cell phone with a text message revealing a little bit of info, but there was barely anything there to really tell you a good story about what really happened.”
- “That goes for the story as well, or lack thereof.”
- “This game does have some creepy moments and sinister environments with great detail, but the part it lacks most is a solid storyline.”
- “You will find several pictures and get achievements for them, but they give you no clue how they tie into the story.”
- “The actual descriptions outside of the game in your list of achievements tell you more about what they actually are, and that is bad storytelling.”
